Song for song, this is one of the most powerful 32 minutes of music from 2010. Van Etten's songs are spiritual folk-rock love songs which are made for couples to earnestly share their deepest thoughts while enjoying a good bottle of wine and a long, warm winter bath.

Epic was one of those records I happened to just listen to one day, and what a great idea that was. Epic is easily one of my favorite records by a female artist. Her voice is so raw, so powerful. Her lyrics just compliment everything also. "Don't Do It" is one of the best tracks I've ever listened too.
